Designer Natalie Ratabesi has taken Philosophy for a crazy creative spin with the Philosophy Resort 2014 collection. In these seasons past, Natalie has proven she has the ideas and formative for Alberta Ferretti’s younger brand.
Crossing beloved bohemian styles with overalls and bell sleeved peasant blouses, Natalie replaces the once froufrou frocks of this line and breathes them into a more chill, chic, music festival vibe. I can definitely see these visionary pieces at Cochella now. Pairing floppy hats with the easy-going boyfriend fit of these pieces gives this collection all types of fierce modesty and bit of a wild west feel.
The designs range from dresses and skirts to bell bottom pants and wide arm blouses. Ratabesi kept things in mostly neutral colors but didn’t shy away from minor pops of red and oranges. The Philosophy Resort 2014 collection will have you looking fierce folk style.
